The Roebuck

Walk down Great Dover Street towards Borough and you'll find The Roebuck doing what London pubs do best: existing without fuss or Instagram theatrics. This is the kind of place where regulars have their spots at the bar, the ales rotate properly, and nobody's trying to reinvent the wheel with sriracha-infused crisps. You'll get decent food that doesn't apologise for itself, honest pints, and the kind of convivial atmosphere that comes from a pub actually being part of its neighbourhood rather than a theme park version of one.
